The traditional ceremony which began at 12 Noon was anchored by Folusho Ogunjimi of the Sokoyokoto fame. Guests present were Ireti Osayemi, Lola Magaret, Lanre Hassan, Femi Brainard and a host of others. As the ceremony went on, attendees were given chilled refreshing drinks and finger licking small chops. After the arrival of the Groom (Kehinde Oloyede) with his friends, the damsel every one was waiting for – Funke Akindele arrived in style with her close friends and family covered in a see-through veil. The two love birds were finally joined together as husband and wife the traditional way and as Funke’s parents gave her away to her husband’s family, her mother couldn’t help but shed a few tears of joy, she was comforted by Ireti Osayemi.
